While shopping at Naiise to find local inspired goods, I chanced upon Straits Preserves which is also known as the new Asian marmalades.

Straits Preserves do an array of exotic jams and jellies with mouthwatering flavours such as Singapore Sling (Contains orange, pineapple, lime, lemon and natural cherry flour), Ginger Garden (Contains ginger, turmeric, cardamom, lime and grapefruit), Tropical Calamansi (Contains calamansi lime and pineapple), Spice Island (Contains pineapple, lime, orange, and 5 types of spices (nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, pepper, coriander) and Pineapple tart (Contains pineapple, lemon and 3 kinds of spices (cloves, cinnamons and star anise).

My favourite has got to be the Singapore Sling that has a spicy kick and a more powerful aroma and taste!

HISTORY OF STRAITS PRESERVES

An abundance of tiny ripe calamansi limes in the garden inspired founder Sharon Lee to create her first marmalade recipe. The combination of tropical fruit and a lack of asian marmalade recipes resulted in flavors that are truly unique to Singapore.

WHERE TO FIND THEM?

These jars of unique sweet goodness can be found online on Straits Preserves Singapore and they are also available for sale on Red Mart, Naiise and Isetan Stores!
